Now I can proudly anounce that I was also an exhibitor at the Bonsaiautumn 7. My entry was a thuja smaragd. This tree came a long way in a short time. The last photo was taken less then five years ago. Yes, it's the same tree.

Another Bonsaiautumn exhibition is behind us, this time it was the seventh. And for some reason this was the last one. Too bad, but Andy and his team did a very good job at all of them so I'm sure they've desurved some rest.
The exhibit included not more than 40 trees. But all were masterpieces. There were also some top demonstrators: Enrico Savini, Mauro Stamberger, Carlos van der Vaart, Marc Noelanders, Rene de Boni and Budi Sulityo.
Great weekend with great bonsai friends from allover Europe. Too bad it's over.

This is another spruce from the mountains where it got eaten by cows and sheep for all the time. That is why it got so dens and stayed this small. But the only problem is that the foilage is only outside. Inside the tree is dead - no green. That is why it is necessary to cut some branches and let the light inside to promote backbudding.
